Health Research: Finding Books

A guide to library resources for Health Research

How do I find resources for my course?

You will usually find that your lecturer provides a resource list (or reading list) on the module's Moodle site. Look out for a link to a Resource list, or specific readings.

Finding and using ebooks

How do I find an ebook?

All ebooks are in OneSearch, and are linked to your reading list in Moodle if available. You can also search for ebooks within these large ebook Collections

Can I read an ebook if someone else is reading it?

Most ebooks allow more than one person to read them at the same time. Some ebooks do limit the number of simultaneous users and you may be prompted to try again later.

What devices can I use to access an ebook?

Any computer, ereader, mobile device, tablet or smartphone that has wi-fi or network capabilities and a web browser can access our ebooks online. These include:

  • Mac, PC workstation and laptop computers
  • iPads, Samsung Galaxy and other tablets
